PTP Hardware Clock drivers specify a maximum frequency adjustment that
their clocks can accommodate. Normally, user space programs will want to
respect the advertised limits. However, no kernel or driver code checks
that the dialed frequency offset is within the bounds, and out of range
values can lead to surprising results.
This patch fixes the issue by rejecting bad values.

This patch adds a pair of new ioctls to the PTP Hardware Clock device
interface. Using the ioctls, user space programs can query each pin to
find out its current function and also reprogram a different function
if desired.

The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead. This converts the ptp class code to use the
correct field.

As network adapters supporting PTP are becoming more common, machines with
many NICs suddenly have many PHCs, too. The current limit of eight /dev/ptp*
char devices (and thus, 8 network interfaces with PHC) is insufficient. Let
the ptp driver allocate the char devices dynamically.
Tested with 28 PHCs, removing and re-adding some of them.
Thanks to Ben Hutchings for advice leading to simpler and cleaner patch.

PTP Hardware Clock devices appear as class devices in sysfs. This patch
changes the registration API to use the parent device, clarifying the
clock's relationship to the underlying device.

If the timex.mode field indicates a query, then we provide the value of

This patch adds a field to the representation of a PTP hardware clock in
order to remember the frequency adjustment value dialed by the user.
Adding this field will let us answer queries in the manner of adjtimex
in a follow on patch.

Initial version by Stuart Hodgson <smhodgson@solarflare.com>
Some PHC device drivers may deliver PPS events with a significant
and variable delay, but still be able to measure precisely what
that delay is.
Add a pps_sub_ts() function for subtracting a delay from the
timestamp(s) in a PPS event, and a PTP event type (PTP_CLOCK_PPSUSR)
for which the caller provides a complete PPS event.

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.
The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
